Vic Gallucci

Johnny Vaughan - 'Does it take alot of practice to perfect the art of filing, making phone calls or walking in and out of shot?'
Vic - 'Oh absolutely, yeah, of course it does. Ya know, I mean ya don't jus walk into a job and do it just like that. Ya know, I've been to pulp school, where I shuffled bits of paper.'

Johnny Vaughan - 'Do you ever get recognised on the streets?'
Vic - 'Ohh, all the time, John, I can't go out during the day now, I have to go out at night, and then I gotta put a wig and a beard on. But ya know..'
Johnny Vaughan - 'But really have you been recognised?'
Vic - 'I have, yeah, I really have been recognised, yeah.'
Johnny Vaughan - 'Really?'
Vic - 'Well, almost really.'
Johnny Vaughan - 'Ya haven't have you?'
Vic - 'No.'

Vic - 'Although I'm a regular on The Bill, I've done, actually worked on alot of Feature Films. Aah, the first one that comes to mind is the original Alien. That was a great picture to work on, we were on that for about 9 months. From then on I went on another picture called, em, Legend, which, I actually stood in for Tom Cruise on that, I was a few stone lighter then.'

Vic - 'First job is you report to your assistant, just to make sure that he knows or she knows that you're here. Second job is wardrobe. Make up. Come in here looking like Vic Gallucci, and go out looking like Robert De Niro.'

Toyah Wilcox - 'Back on The Bill, there's no time to eat, Vic's rehersing his door technique.'
Vic - 'This is what I specialize in, is opening doors. If you can imagine a crew of 20 to 30 people behind. There are certain techniques I use, I use the finger technique where I walk through a door like this....See, you never see me open that door, did you?'

Vic - 'Well, welcome to the CID Office.'
Toyah Wilcox - 'When Vic's not rushing through doors, he's getting up close and personal.....with the filing cabinet.'
Vic - 'When I pull out a file out of a filing cabinet, I make sure that it has a white backing, so as I pull it out, hopefully it will clip some kind of a light, just to give me a little edge. I don't let the lighting cameraman know about that.'

Vic - 'It's now extended to the website, which is The Bill website and there's also a pirate website, and there's lots and lots of people, and I'm amazed that they're even bothering about me! They look in and know what tie I'm wearing, I've had several proposals of marriage.'
